So I went to the Girl's Night Out event at the Brea Mall on October 11, 2012. I truly had a blast. I didn't go with anyone as everyone I know that would be interested was either working, helping out friends or busy with life. Yet I knew I wanted to go so I threw on some sneakers and walked the mile from my place over to the mall. It was mostly uphill, but I am not going to complain about that. :)

I got there pretty early so I went up to the food court and got myself some food. I just got some taquitos. They were pretty good. If you live near the Brea Mall and like vegan food they have a good fast food place that has great stuff. I eat there pretty often. I'm a meat eater but that doesn't stop me from enjoying some things vegan, I actually found the place not last year but the year before at Mom's Night Out.

I started to walk back downstairs to see a giant line had formed. Of course, no one was there when I got there, now there is like 100 people. So I got in line. Was not too bad, line lasted until about 5:15 got in line at like 4:45pm.. so only about 30 minutes. Lots of people excited for the event and people walking by not knowing about the event excitedly talking about the finding the event.

Next we got our bags. I loved the look of it and when I go out for runs, this is the one I am going to use.. I have probably 30 like it from different events, but I like this one the best.

The bag had some samples of makeup and lotions, some woolite (the sponsor of the event, I have a ton of the same samples because the woolite samples came from a crowdtap thing.) I love getting free laundry detergent, I have like a years worth in my closet so I never have to spend money on it. I also go a bottle of water, which I added some metromint to and has been sitting next to my laptop as a pick me up.

Next was all the sampling and contest entering. I walked around to each booth. Getting samples, signing up for contests. I skipped the food booths, because I didn't need anymore candy and I am allergic to diet sodas. I was pleased with myself. I missed out on the jewelry cleaner, but I still have 2 bottles from other events. I plan to take them out, my jewelry needs some cleaning.

I went and got my makeup done at Sephora, they gave me a cute bag of samples. I went over to JcPenney salon and they gave me some dry shampoo. ( I love Dry Shampoo) and then I hit Nordstrom's and signed up for the trendshow (well technically I didn't i have to do that this week... i only carry cash and they wanted a card.) and got a nice bag of goodies from them.

So all in all I walked away with a lot of nice stuff, saw new collections, bought some things at Sephora and Urban Outfitters and enjoyed my little stroll through the mall. I even got to use a $75 giftcard I had to Fredericks at the 50% off sale.. Picks of that to come.. I'm a superhero fanatic.. and I got two costumes.

Congrats to Melanie Scout who won my last contest. Hope you like the necklace when you get it. She already responded to my email so we move on to the next giveaway.

Now on to the next giveaway. I got these beautiful rings while working. 3 in total so there will be 3 winners. There are 2 turtles and a peacock. I wish I had fingers that fit them and I'd keep the peacock for myself.

I bought these adorable little rings while I was working at the Los Angeles County Fair. I am sad to say the fair ended for me a few weeks ago after I post this giveaway. I had a lot of fun. Met some great people. Got some great job offers and had a blast working. I really enjoy what I do at the fairs, I'm lucky in that regard.

So without further ado the rings. I will pick 3 winners and the peacock will go to the first winner, The rainbow turtle to the second winner and the teal turtle to the third winner.

Today I decided to do my nails. I have been so busy with life that my poor nails have been so neglected. The poor nails look so sad, I'm gonna start taking Biotin because I want them to be stronger and thicker. I feel bad that I can't get them to grow and I have heard great things. Ok back to the task at hand though. I painted my nails a pretty blue, I might repaint them (after I swatched I did what I always do and messed them up). So I was playing around with blues today. I don't normally wear blue but that was what was in store I guess because I saw the blue hearts in the OPI and just had to do something with them.

So I used a base coat of Orly Rubberized Base Coat by Lori Greiner. I like the feel of it. I have not used it before today and I took my paint off shortly after taking pictures because I messed them up, so I don't really know how well it works. There will be time for that though so don't worry. Then I used two coats of Wet'N'Wilds Megalast I Need A Refresh-Mint , I liked that it goes on pretty thick and drys quickly even with me being a putz and ruining it less then 30 seconds after I put it on.. then I used Nicole by OPI Honey-dew You Love Me. I only got two of the cute little hearts on my thumb but I thought that looked cute enough not to complain.

I meant to post this forever and a day ago but somehow it never made it to my computer screen. So here it is now.

LipSmackers and Disney have teamed up to bring you the cutest disney collection since.. Lady and the Tramp.. lol. I don't know what's the cutest maybe Stitch.. but none the less. This collection features Minnie and Mickey and Daisy and Donald. But I'm more interested in Mickey and Minnie. I love those two little mice.

There are lipglosses, perfumes, eyeshadows and compact mirrors. I only purchased the mirrors because I didn't really want the other stuff but carrying a cute mirror in my purse since I lost my favorite had to happen.

The only thing I do not like about these mirrors is they are cheaply made and at $4.. that makes me sad. It broke within an hour of me owning it and I am pretty careful with my stuff. One of the hinges broke, which I guess will not kill me but it irked me.

Cute and affordable and functional but not well made, great for a kid or disney fan like myself. Not really a collector's item since it doesn't really hold up to the sands of time or being opened a couple of times.
